forgot to mention, when i was backing in at bike night a young couple came over and was asking questions about my bike before i could get my helmet off.

the one that sticks out is, he asked "did you ride that here"

& i answered oh yea, it's way to heavy to push"

he just sorta looked at me like that didn't sink in

Thought i had it worked out to slip outta work alittle early fri to head down to bench marks motorworks open house in strugis ms. But once again that didn't happen when i did leave work it was around 6 and raining.

Worked alittle sat and then off to mississippi

stopped in byhilla, gased up & headed south.

As i pulled back onto the road "my heads in mississippi" by zztop came on the radio

i'm not making that up, i took it for a good sign

i was heading south and knew i needed to go SE so i saw this road and away i went

i was thinkn i ougta let some air outta my tires, but i allready had a late start and thought na, i got this

i'd love to tell ya i came around the cruve and there was a blind nun leading a line of one legged orphans across the road, & "I HAD TO LAY HER DOWN'

but unfortunately i was running above my skill level, i went wide in a turn & thought i was straightening it out before i sled off the rd when it started fishtailing i tryed to safe it as i was sliding back and forth alot of thoughts went tru my head, one was this would be fun if i wasn't fixing to break something

when i finished rolling and sliding i looked at bike and gas was pouring out so i jerked it up got my bearings and then took picture

you can see the fishtail marks

skinned up alittle, a broken saddlebag mount, alittle dizzy where the back of my head hit. Not to bad for going down in the middle of no where with no one else around

Needless to say i slowed down. A while later i came out at a paved road and said glad to be done with gravel for a while. Stopped and walked around bike. Oh o jesus boot (flipflop) was missing. So i turned around and went back after about 2 miles i gave up and headed back to asphalt.
